Secular Market Forum 2008
|
On 19 and 23 May, Schroders hosted its annual Secular Market Forum. We invited some of the world's leading industry, academic and financial commentators to debate the issues which are shaping the world economy today. These are 'slow burn' issues which can influence markets gradually over time, or have the potential to explode into either significant investment themes or major concerns. Secular Market Forum webcast: Keith Wade, Chief Economist, and Robert Farago, Head of Asset Allocation: Schroders Private Bank, reflect on some of the key conclusions from the event in a webcast.
